Hi Bio!

DF has a dedicated lab for phase one clinical studies. They can do it. Definitely. http://www.dana-farber.org/Research/Core-Faci...x#clinical

DF also has a lab facility to run the qpcr assays. This is a separate process. An expert technician can run qpcr assay in 2-3 hours. I do not know for sure but I would guess that they have been doing the qpcr assays since day one.
